Man Goes to Doctor for Stomach Pain and Finds Out He's a Woman

Turns out, he was getting his period.

A man in Zhejiang, China, went to the doctor to find out what was causing his stomach cramps and blood in his urine. He found out it was because he was on his period. Because he's actually a woman [via Shanghaiist].

The bump was removed. No word on which gender Chen plans to continue his life as, but this has surely shaken his worldview.
